Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours airs a shocking moment for Byron Stone next week as he faces an impossible choice between his girlfriend Sadie Rodwell and sister Nicolette.

The nail-biting scenes air as a fire rages through the local garage, leaving multiple lives hanging in the balance.

Neighbours unleashes the life-or-death drama as part of the show's 40th anniversary episodes, which bring several ongoing storylines to a head.

The blaze ties in with the ongoing danger facing Max Ramsay after he made an enemy of ruthless gangster Carter Haddon.

Max meets Roxy Willis at the garage as they plan his next move together, but they're interrupted by Sadie, Byron and Nicolette.

The group enjoy an emotional reunion, but it takes a terrible turn when Carter's secret accomplice Lachie spots them and throws a Molotov cocktail into the garage.

Lachie's attack sets the building on fire and traps everyone inside.

While Roxy, Max and Byron manage to successfully find an escape route, things aren't looking so good for Sadie and Nicolette as they're surrounded by flames.

Roxy and Max take control by calling for help outside, but Byron spots that Sadie and Nicolette need urgent rescue as they've collapsed.

Battling through the flames, Byron makes the impulsive decision to save Nicolette first ? much to the horror of Sadie as she's left abandoned.

Before Byron gets his chance to go back for Sadie, a piece of the burning building falls on top of her.

Byron's route to Sadie is blocked and she experiences nasty burns to her back.

Once the emergency services arrive, they manage to take control of the situation and rush Sadie to hospital to get the help she needs.

Sadie's mum Wendy returns to town to support her, as Candice Leask returns to the role following an extended break.

Byron is also keen to be by Sadie's side, but she simply can't forgive him for not choosing her when she needed him the most.

As Sadie coldly tells Byron to leave, there's a real danger that their relationship may never be the same?

Neighbours airs these scenes on Wednesday, March 19.

Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee and Prime Video in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach Comedy.

Great - time for BADIE to be over !

Neighbours: Byron's efforts to help Sadie backfire in emotional scenes
Will their relationship ever be the same?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...tional-scenes/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours airs another sad setback for Byron Stone next week as he struggles to save his relationship with Sadie Rodwell.

Byron is left disappointed when some early signs of progress with Sadie only lead to further disappointment.

Last week, Neighbours' 40th anniversary episodes saw Sadie reject Byron after suffering nasty burns in the fire at the garage.

Sadie was devastated that Byron had chosen to save his sister Nicolette first when they were both in danger.

While Nicolette was pulled to safety, Sadie was abandoned and a burning beam fell on her before Byron could return for her.

Next week, Sadie's caring mum Wendy steps in to play peacemaker for her daughter's relationship.

Wendy suggests that Sadie should take part in a 'reframing' exercise to help process her recent trauma.

Sadie agrees and invites Byron, Holly Hoyland and Max Ramsay to join her for the cathartic therapy.

The trio all visualise the recent fire, but this time with an alternate outcome where Sadie emerged completely unscathed.

Sadie finds that Wendy's idea gives her the closure that she needs, as well as bringing her closer to Byron for the first time in a few days.

Byron is relieved that his relationship seems to be on the mend, but he soon realises that he's getting carried away far too quickly.

When Byron offers to help Sadie change her bandages, she firmly rejects the idea. Is there still a long way to go before they stand any chance of saving their relationship?

Xavier Molyneux, who plays Byron, recently told Digital Spy: "Byron feels terrible for Sadie. He feels he could have done more.

"It will challenge everything about their relationship. Something horrible has happened and it has brought to light some terrible things and there isn't a real road map for the two on how to navigate everything."

Asked whether Byron will give Sadie some space, Xavier replied: "Byron feels giving space is the last thing he wants to do. He sees Sadie needs help and wants to be the person of support. It's just in his nature."

Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, March 31.

Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee and Prime Video in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach Comedy.

TV star lands huge new role after beloved Amazon Prime series is axed

https://metro.co.uk/2025/06/25/tv-st...o=newsnow-feed

Neighbours star Xavier Molyneux is set to lead a major new TV series ? with an intriguing connection to the beloved Australian soap.

The 27-year old actor is best known for playing Byron Stone in the axed serial drama, taking over the role from originator Joe Klocek when new episodes landed on Amazon Prime Video in September 2023.

Metro understands that Xavier signed on the dotted line for the original two year commission, but filmed his final scenes in February. Fans were quick to pick up on his cast mates attending a farewell party.

He will depart in the coming weeks ? though the show will continue until December, after a last minute extension was awarded.

Unfortunately, it seems that this really is the end of the road for Ramsay Street, having now been pulled from our screens for the third time in 40 years.

A training ground for some of Australia?s elite, Neighbours has projected the likes of Margot Robbie and Kylie Minogue to superstardom during that time.

And now, former Big Brother contestant Xavier looks set to follow in their footsteps as he plays Viking warrior Erik Bloodaxe in upcoming drama Bloodaxe.

Clearly the bosses at Prime Video have had their eye on him, as its produced by Amazon MGM Studios.

The series will follow Erik and his wife, Gunnhild, during their fight for the throne of Norway. During their journey, they?ll face rivals, ?shifting loyalties and bloody betrayals?.

While it may sound like a fantasy series, Bloodaxe really was a 10th-century Norse king who also served as King of Northumbria on two occasions.

A statement on social media said: ?Amazon MGM Studios casts Xavier Molyneux in the lead role of Erik Bloodaxe in the new original series Bloodaxe.?

During his time on Neighbours, Xavier?s Byron has worked as an escort, having a fling with high profile Lassiters investor Reece Sinclair (Mischa Barton) and reunited with his estranged dad Vic (Craig Hall).

The character is also the son of show legend Plain Jane Superbrain (Annie Jones).

More recently, Byron grappled with the death of grandmother Amanda Harris (Briony Behets) and had an explosive fallout with his girlfriend Sadie Rodwell (Emerald Chan), who was left everything in Amanda?s will.

But how will he leave Erinsborough?

Neighbours streams ? for free ? Monday to Thursday, from 7am on Amazon Prime Video.
